About the event
Most of us carry invisible instructions into any creative act: make it right, make it good, make it look like you knew what you were doing. Empty Hand is a four-hour workshop designed to interrupt that pattern. Working with ink and charcoal at The Space Between, you will move through a guided sequence of exercises that progressively release control - drawing blind, working with wet ink, responding to music, and deliberately ruining something you love. No art experience needed, only a willingness to let go.
